Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine plain breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Using a brush or a spoon, coat each chicken breast evenly with the honey mustard mixture.
Press each honey mustard-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray. This will help the coating crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The coating should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
